President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a warning to European allies and the people of Ukraine, saying they should brace for a harsh winter after Russia cut off the flow of natural gas through a crucial pipeline to the continent.

Where Russia cannot use conventional weapons to exert force, it does it via energy weapons. It is trying to attack with poverty and political unrest where it cannot yet attack with missiles, Zelensky said in a speech that was broadcast on television on Saturday.

Zelensky Warns "Incomparable" War Over Europe

The Ukrainian leader's remarks follow the Russian energy giant Gazprom's decision to halt the supply of natural gas to Europe through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline following the discovery of an oil leak in a turbine, raising concerns about an impending energy crisis as the upcoming winter approaches.

The technical problems in energy exports have been attributed to sanctions imposed by the US and its Western allies, but European countries have accused President Vladimir Putin of weaponizing the export of gas and oil as retaliation for their military assistance for Ukraine, according to New York Post.

Incomparable to the impending energy problem that Brits must deal with. President Volodymyr Zelensky  advised world leaders to resist President Vladimir Putin despite the rising expense of living brought on by the Russian squeezing of the energy market. Olena Zelenska, the first lady of Ukraine, claimed that while the British were counting their pennies in their bank accounts, the Ukrainians were counting dead as the battle continued.

The G7 nations put a planned price restriction on Russian oil shipments last week, and Moscow pledged to maintain the closure of its main gas pipeline to Germany, which contributed to the worsening of the standoff over Russian oil and gas exports. As Europe prepares for the next harsh winter, the energy confrontation, which is the outcome of Putin's six-month invasion of Ukraine, emphasizes the growing divide between Moscow and the West.

President Volodymyr Zelensky  acknowledged it would be difficult to stand up to Russia, but he also said: "If you are not willing to lose something, then you will have far graver risks to face." In addition, the father of two expressed concern that the ferocious struggle at Europe's largest nuclear power plant could not be stopped without a miracle.

Putin's Soldiers Could Storm Across Europe

In an interview with The Sunday Times, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that if international leaders waver in their support for Ukraine under the rising cost of living problem, Putin's forces may storm across Europe.

Olena Zelenska, Zelensky's wife, mimics one of Boris Johnson's closing remarks amid ominous forecasts of soaring energy expenses for British consumers this winter. In his plea to world leaders, Zelensky claimed that Putin is imitating Adolf Hitler and that they should not underestimate the Kremlin.

In the midst of fierce conflict at Europe's largest nuclear power plant, Zelensky makes an impassioned appeal. The relentless bombing and deteriorating conditions have raised concerns about a radioactive calamity. Only one of Zaporizhzhia's six reactors is now in operation, according to Ukraine's state nuclear company, and the facility is depending on a backup line to send electricity to the country's system.

According to Zelensky, it was required to stop the calamity at the location. And because the threat to the reactors is becoming more serious, he wants both sides' military personnel to leave. Energy outages have been attributed by Moscow to technical difficulties and Western sanctions, while European nations have accused Russia of weaponizing supplies as part of its military assault.

Moscow has blamed energy outages on technical issues and Western sanctions, while European countries have charged Russia with weaponizing supplies as part of its military offensive. Regarding attacks on the Zaporizhzhia facility, which is still run by Ukrainian employees, Kiev and Moscow have traded allegations. Before the publishing of a report by the UN nuclear watchdog in the coming days, an IAEA mission visited the plant on Thursday, and some specialists have remained there, as per The Sun.
